That's not trolling at all. Kempt was statistically quite a bit better than Stanley and Stanley's QBR would have been MUCH worse if it included his 7 fumbles
I stopped it at 2017, so I didn't conveniently leave anyone off. I'm talking about the last 5 years.
As for your list, Jok couldn't come here due to Lefty; Connor, Patrick, Weiskamp and Green were never coming here either. Otherwise, Iowa State is still actively recruiting Weiskamp and Carton, but maybe prioritizing them they way Iowa is. So 2 kids in the past 6 years that were highly rated enough to come to Iowa State and weren't otherwise linked to another in-state school.
Time and resources are finite. So I'm fine with Prohm making inroads in Chicago, Milwaukee and prep schools like Oak Hill. Those are areas that produce division one talent every year. My guess is there probably isn't a handful more elite prospects coming out of Osky and Bettendorf.
So I'm completely fine with Prohm making an attempt at those guys, but also focusing his recruiting efforts on more prosperous recruiting grounds. But if you think it's important to throw all your eggs into the "Iowa kid" basket, well then you should be pretty thrilled with the results you're seeing at U of I.
I know it's your schtick but try to be objective. The kid just threw 26 TD to only 6 INT
And with Iowa's offensive scheme and lack of quality WR, those numbers are pretty impressive.
I love that Hok fans are doubling down on their basketball program and HC. This is great. Keep it up guys.
Link to me confirming I predicted 13-5 on HR? That didnt happen. Gosh you get so mad sometimes.
If you're not Dan on HR (which we all know you are) what is your user name over there? That's you confirming it
Again, I never said to throw all the eggs in the local basket or to take an Iowa kid each year. Its a really dumb strategy to ignore them though. There is a borderline 5 star PG in Bettendorf that Prohm didnt even bother watching until his junior season was almost completed. That doesnt make sense.
Prohm isn't ignoring elite instate talent. That is just an troll statement.
I think they're recruiting Foster pretty hard. I don't think they thought they had much of a chance with Carton until he reached out to them but I still don't think they have much of a chance. I'd rather get elite talent from outside of the state though Dan
